We Have a Big Announcement...

The School of Life App is a digital resource for making time for your mental wellbeing. It gathers the very best of our teaching – our films, essays, audio lessons, practical exercises and interactive media – making them available on your phone or device whenever and wherever you need them. It’s a tool for understanding more about yourself, making positive life-changes, and discovering the elements of better mental health and emotional maturity.

“Your app is brilliant. You’ve clearly worked hard on it and it shows. Currently loving everything about it: bite size snippets, ability to save for later, home page not being never-ending, so it feels like you can complete it daily” – Sapna

I miss Alain de Botton's voice. Any chance he would start a TSL podcast? Or start voicing videos more often, as he used to?
Thanks for the great work that you all do by the way. Amazingly helpful.

[corgikun]

It's FREE to download yet you NEED TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION for reading the content.
Not even 5 minutes on my phone and I had already uninstalled the app

Great app! I'm reading everything with Alain's voice in my head

[lowkeyweirdo]

Wait ..what was I using til now then ?
I already got an app called ' school of life '

[haseebjavedkhan]

Kindly make it free to use. Its amazing but i cant afford

[dragos]

so now you can pay the equivalent of a Netflix subscription to read and watch materials that are free on YouTube and on their site.

As much as I love the School of Life and your free videos, your products are too expensive.

[puneet]

there was already an app, why is it being introduced like a first time thing?

[randomguy]

Spoiler alert, you have to pay now! It's pretty remarkable that we've had free access to all this for so long. I guess it's inevitable that this would happen sooner or later.

[hazymorning]

Really good first impressions after 10 min with the app! Love the Home page. Looks like a lot of care was put in, cheers

[theanimator]

I haven't finished watching the video, but I've already finished installing the app :)

Keep at it School of Life! Thank you for the great content you give us.

[stephencshapiro]

Love the tweaks that have been made over the years. Congratulations!

It’s not a bad start. Still has a lot of potencial though. Here are some ideas for free:

- A guided course that goes through all your topics, which would eventually be a individuals tailored to each client based on questionnaires etc. Right now a user is overwhelmed with the paradox of choice.
- A separate section with digital versions of all you card and board games.
-A separate section with digital versions of all your books.
-The whole customer journey should be improved. The paid section is just randomly there with out context or explanation of what are the benefits.
- The price is too expensive for the current benefits. Should be much cheaper to start with so that you can grow your user base.


Another step should be creating a dating similar to hinge (help find a long term partner, not just hookups), but then the couple keep using the app to help grow and improve the relationship together, eventually using it to help raise the children etc.


You should also focus on creating a community, which is the main thing that a Relogions gave us that is missing in secular society.
Maybe something for community events every Sunday (copy church) would also be interesting.

[moontide]

Thank you so much for this! Also I love Alan’s speaking voice, I miss it!

[leondominovic]

The app looks great! Thanks! That said, it is expensive, especially for people which live in third-world countries :/

[hyxx]

WOOOH, I've always wanted an app from the Channel I've been watching since my early College years! I still and will continue to watch you vids!

[theadrenalizedartist]

I was on the 1st version of the app but I still came here…I had to free up space on my device. I love what you guys do

[umangdave]

Oh man, I tried the app, , its mostly paywalled, not much free content :/

[Japrod]

Bring back Alain de bottom to the voiceover! This woman speaks like a bot
